SKETCH AND CONCEPT PAGE:
THREE CHOSEN CONCEPTS:
FINAL DESIGN RENDERED IN PS:
Underlayed using my 3D model Renders
MAIN FEATURES:
LUGGAGE STORAGE-
By making the bike electric and placing the battery under the seat i was left with a lot of space in the fuel tank. Appealing to The North Faces modern push for stylish products i wanted to make sure the bike was visible. This in contrast to most adventure bikes where everything hides the beautiful design beneath.
MUD GUARD/SKI-
Rotation about the center this piece allows you ASCEND to new heights before skiing down the slopes for a different sensation.
COMPASS CHARGING POINT-
As a compass always 'Faces North' i wanted a simple way to incorporate a charging port that feels familiar and practical to normal bikers. This compass lights up and guides the way north.
REAR TRACK-
For best traction over loose terrain and snow, the track helps convert the power from the HUB motor to the ground.
CENTER-HUB STEERING (BY WIRE)-
By roving forks it feed up more space. The mechanism i have chosen have never been combined and isn't favored, however with 10 years of research i believe this mechanisms could be developed to be effective.
